Comms vendor Juniper Networks will today release a new version of its Unified Access Control (UAC) network access control (NAC) system that integrates technology from its acquisition of Funk Software, which it bought just under a year ago.

Juniper described UAC 2.0 as a complete Layer 2/3 access control system that runs on its Infranet Controller 4000/6000 systems. It integrates Funk’s Steel Belted Radius server with its 802.1x-based Odyssey supplicant, allowing wired or wireless policy enforcement using 802.1x and Layer 3 firewall enforcement. Funk’s system supports the Trusted Computing Group’s Trusted Network Connect architecture.

UAC 2.0 will be available in December, starting at £15,000 + VAT for 100 concurrent users.
